About Elsie Pulupuna

Elsie Pulupuna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who supports adolescents, teenagers, and families in strengthening their relationships with others and with themselves. She emphasizes the importance of safe, genuine connections as central protective factors for mental health and works alongside clients to identify and dismantle the thought patterns and behaviors that once offered safety but now limit growth. Using a client-centered approach, she focuses on empowering people to build from within and to reclaim agency over the life they want to lead.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can explore attachment patterns, communication challenges, control issues, and the lingering effects of trauma or shame. Elsie helps individuals and families recognize unsafe barriers and replace them with healthier ways of relating, offering time, perspective, and practical support as part of a longer journey of unlearning, healing, and change. Her practice centers on helping people feel safer and more capable as they move toward the relationships and life they desire.
